How to Make It
Looking to create the smoothest, most flavorful egg salad? Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Cook the Eggs Properly
Place the eggs in a saucepan in one layer, covering them with cold water by about an inch.
Warm over medium-high heat until boiling, then turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 9–12 minutes depending on how firm you prefer the yolks.
Move the eggs to an ice bath or rinse under cold water to halt cooking. Peel and chop them.
Pro Tip: Lightly roll the eggs on the counter to loosen the shells for easier peeling.
Step 2: Mash and Combine
In a bowl, mash the chopped eggs with a fork or masher to your preferred texture—smooth or chunky.
Mix in the mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well incorporated.
